For six years, the hotel, along with other worldwide volunteers, has used attic faith and consistent action to actively prevent the degradation of the environment.

During the event, the hotel turned off most of the lighting in the operation areas and dimmed the lights in the public areas, restaurants and outside the hotel building. Meanwhile, guests were invited to participate by minimising electric usage to as low as possible and using the Bedsheet Re-use Card to reduce laundry.
